...freak out, this is how you blew it with Nemo.” “Bolt” is, for the most part, predictably tame. Penny is as saccharine as any Disney princess. Bolt has a requisite crisis of faith in which he questions her love, but this doubt is fleeting—he is reassured after about five minutes. The movie achieves emotional depth, however, in the scenes with Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino. After Bolt discovers he never had superpowers, it’s up to Mittens to teach him how to be a real dog. She instructs...
...wanting to be a filmmaker. As the daughter of colonial officials, she spent the majority of her childhood moving through various outposts in French colonial Africa, including Cameroon and Djibouti. Her first encounter with cinema came when she was a college student in Paris, where Denis immediately fell in love with the medium.

Motivated by commercial opportunism, Zollner is initially attracted to Kaminski only to advance his own interests...
...Partly conservative skepticism towards animal rights is reflexive. When PETA staged a 2004 “love in, fur out” protest in Harvard Square—six near naked protesters on a giant mattress, protesting fur—the Harvard Salient expressed predictable outrage. And when secular philosophers cite Darwin’s findings on human-animal similarities as a basis for more equal rights between species, pious conservatives cringe...
